  • Not 1 forward made over 100 metres

    plain and simple we are not laying a platform before spreading the ball

    most of the season our dummy half running from the outside backs has carried our pack and once again tonight every one of our back 5 made over 100 metres.

    but remeber we were a genuine lock down
    Our 13 made 30% of the metres of his opp number and half the tackles

      You obviously are not counting the metres running backwards

        Our forwards rarely get the ball, first 3 hitups a set are from Perrett, SKD and Mini.......then we play side to side for 3 plays/drop the ball.

        That ****ing Parramatta result has got to their heads.

          That's how we play our football.

          It's like that every game.

          Only Ryles and Myles come close to cracking the 100 each game.

          Our backs take most of the runs.

            there is no speed around the ruck. friend did nothing for us today. with 22 minutes he was still walking back and it was the third tackle. same thing with half of our forwards. i got sick of seeing kenny dowall make 50 metres across field and our forwards sit back and do nothing. they were given no ball close to the advantage line

              Forwards were largely useless tonight and this team is going nowhere whilst ever that is the case.

                We're back to the old days of Terry Hermannson and Jason Lowrie.

                Christ, even Quentin Pongia fired up harder than these guys are.

                  If our backs are doing most of the work then our forwards should be DAMAGING when they do run. Noone really bent the line back last night. Masoe fair enough cause he was busted but the rest didn't give us a lot.

                    He's a modern day Bonetti, a tackling machine that provides decent service and nothing else. I still can't believe there are some people questioning the decision to sign Watts, at least he will give us some spark out of dummy half.

                      Yes forwards have been disappointing. They need to step up and start making some metres

                      It was easy to blame Perret and Carney last night for their errors. But that's the result of a backline trying to work off no forward momentum and poor field position

                          Yet the majority of their runs were straight up the guts. They were all running off N Friend from dummy half

                            Our forwards have struggled all year to make ground.

                              Plain and simple, in trying to score off every set our playmakers are not controlling possession and allowing the opposition to dominate possession and tire our forwards.
